OUR MISSIONHelp men live happier, healthier longer lives
WE STAND FOR:Our fathers, partners, brothers and friends are facing a health crisis that isn’t being talked about.
• On average, men die six years earlier than women
• Prostate cancer rates will double in the next 15 years
• Testicular cancer rates have already doubled in the last 50 years
• Every minute, a man dies from suicide
We’re here to do something about it before it’s too late.
WE KNOW THAT:It’s time for men to take action on their health.
Global collaboration is the key to accelerating change for men’s health.
Too many fathers, brothers and sons are dying by suicide. Suicide is preventable.
Quality of life is just as important as longer life.
WE WANT MEN TO:1. Make man timeStay connected. Your mates are important and spending time with them is good for you. Catch up regularly, check in and make time.
2. Have open conversationsYou don’t need to be an expert and you don’t have to be the sole solution, but being there for someone, listening and giving your time can be life-saving.
3. Know the numbersAt 50, talk to your doctor about prostate cancer and whether it’s right for you to have a PSA test. If you are of African or Caribbean descent or have a father or brother with prostate cancer, you should be having this conversation at 45. Know your numbers, know your risk, talk to your doctor.
4. Know thy nuts. Simple.Get to know what’s normal for your testicles. Give them a check regularly and go to the doctor if something doesn’t feel right.
5. Move, more.Add more activity to your day. Do more of what makes you feel good. Take a walking meeting instead of a stuffy conference room, take the stairs, cycle to work instead of driving, get off the train a stop or two earlier.
OUR 2030 GOALSHalve the life expectancy gap between men and women
Reduce the number of men dying prematurely by 25%
Halve the number of men dying from prostate cancer and testicular cancer
Reduce the rate of male suicides by 25%

ANNUAL REPORT 2018
CHAIRMAN’S LETTERIt’s hard to believe that this year is my fifth as Chairman of the Movember Foundation. Over these years, I have watched the organisation go from strength to strength in the fight for men’s health.
Since its inception, the foundation has funded more than 1,200 game-changing men’s health projects in prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention.
As for this year, we’ve made many breakthroughs – all thanks to the community of over 300,000 Mo Bros and Mo Sistas, who’ve collectively raised $87 million in the past 12 months alone. Their dedication (as well as our own efforts in innovation, accountability and transparency) has resulted in global recognition.
Namely, the organisation climbed four places in the NGO Advisor Top 500 Rankings – coming in at number 45 out of non-government organisations across the globe. The rankings
measure impact, innovation and governance – using evidence-based quantitative analysis through qualitative research. That’s a climb of 34 places since 2010 – the year I first joined the board.
While there is much to be proud of, a great challenge lies ahead. Our 2030 goals require even greater dedication than before – as we fight to stop men dying too young.
As such, we will continue to bring the “brightest minds together, listen to the community, and advocate for all men. With this approach, I know we can continue to change the face of men’s health.

ANNUAL REPORT 2018
CEO’S LETTERI am really proud of what the Movember Foundation has achieved in 2017. We are further increasing the positive impact that we are having on men’s health and our work to create real and sustainable change continues to build momentum.
A great example of this was being backed by the Australian Government – as their Federal Budget committed AUD $37.6 million in funding to expand The Way Back Support Service over the next 4 years.
Initially funded by the Movember Foundation and implemented by our Australian men’s health partner, beyondblue, The Way Back Support Service dates back to 2013 – and was initially launched with AUD $2.25 million. We saw a gap that needed to be filled, given that every minute somewhere in the world, a man takes his own life. This solution will give the Australian population the suicide prevention resources they need, when they need it most.
An inspiring example of the Movember Foundation’s important role as a ‘catalytic funder’ – our success with The Way Back Support Service illustrates a key aspect of our impact investment strategy. We invest in innovative programs that have the possibility to create real, long-term impact for men’s health, and
find ways to catalyse implementation to be delivered in an area of need – scaling up what works to provide the greatest reach and benefits.
My sincerest thanks to all for what was a huge year of progress. Our supporters have grown from the ground up – from men and women in communities (our true rockstars), to clinicians, doctors, nurses, partners, carers – and now government bodies. That is true success.
As I look towards 2018, I am reminded of the great challenge in men’s health that lies ahead. Luckily, we have an incredibly talented group of individuals at the helm. To these people – our valued Movember Foundation staff– thank you for 2017, and onwards and upwards in 2018. Without you, the impact we continue to achieve would not be possible.

MENTAL HEALTH AND SUICIDE PREVENTIONTRACKING OUR PROGRESSOUR MODEL FOR CHANGE
MEN’S HEALTH PROMOTIONOur Health Promotion Plans address the following challenges consistent across all of our cause areas:
The need for men to:
• Be aware of the physical and mental health risks they face, at different ages and stages of life
• Recognise the signs and symptoms of not doing so well or being unwell
• Take action early when they experience physical, mental and social problems
• Build and maintain a strong social network around them
10 MOVEMBER FOUNDATION
ANNUAL REPORT 2018
MENTAL HEALTH AND SUICIDE PREVENTIONTRACKING OUR PROGRESSOUR MODEL FOR CHANGE
• Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men
• Globally, more than 1.4 million men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer each year
• More than 5.6 million men are estimated to be living with prostate cancer around the world
• Globally, more than 380,000 men die from prostate cancer each year
WHAT DOES SUCCESS LOOK LIKEWe want fewer men to die from prostate cancer. We want men living with and beyond prostate cancer to have the treatment and care they need to be well, physically and mentally.
Our ambitions are big – that’s why we put funds towards the most innovative projects we can find. Here’s a breakdown of the kinds of projects we’re funding to tackle prostate cancer.

ANNUAL REPORT 2018
PROSTATE-SPECIFIC MEMBRANE ANTIGEN (PSMA) RESEARCHFor men with advanced or advancing disease, it is important to be able to determine if cancer cells may have spread to distant parts of their bodies, and if so, to where. It’s for these men that Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen – or PSMA – might offer a new hope. PSMA is a protein that sits on prostate cancer cells, that can act both as a marker that can be used to find cancer cells by PET imaging or an agent that can destroy them via a process called radionuclide therapy.
Using PSMA, images of a man’s prostate cancer are clearer, and treatments are more targeted to those areas where cancer is present. For men who have exhausted other options, PSMA therapy is proving to be a useful
tool that can both extend and improve quality of life. Unlike chemotherapy which is a broad-brush approach to treating cancer, PSMA is highly specific to prostate cancer cells, which limits the amount of radioactivity other cells are exposed to and reduces the side effects from treatment.
Since 2011 the Movember Foundation has invested more than $3.7M in supporting global research efforts that build the evidence around the use of PSMA for imaging a man’s prostate cancer, and is currently supporting work focused on its use both in imaging as well as treating prostate cancer, and allowing more men with advanced prostate cancer to benefit.

PROSTATE CANCERTRACKING OUR PROGRESS
THE INTERNATIONAL REGISTRY FOR MEN WITH ADVANCED PROSTATE CANCER (IRONMAN)The IRONMAN registry collects information about a man’s type of prostate cancer, their treatment and what side effects they may be experiencing. Collecting and researching this information will enable us to better understand what causes prostate cancer, how to stop or slow its progression, and how to provide the best possible care to enable men to live the best quality life possible. More than 5,000 men across 9 countries are expected to join the registry by 2022.
“TrueNTH Ironman is an unprecedented global attempt to characterise how men with prostate cancer are treated, throughout the course of their disease. Part of what’s important with this project is that we’re really focusing on the patient – and by understanding that at specific time-points in their report, how they’re reporting how they feel is unique to any project that we’ve done or that really has been done. It’s going to allow us to integrate that patient perspective into the science of the project itself.” Jake Vinson, CEO, Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Consortium.

TESTICULAR CANCERTRACKING OUR PROGRESS
15 MOVEMBER FOUNDATION
ANNUAL REPORT 2018
TRUENTH TESTICULAR CANCERTesticular Cancer is a largely survivable disease – in the developed world, it celebrates a survival rate better than 95%. It is also the most common cancer diagnosis in young men. This means that while the vast majority of these young men who receive a diagnosis of testicular cancer will survive, they live with the physical and psychological impacts of that diagnosis and treatment for many years. TrueNTH Testicular cancer is a digital support tool that was built using true human centred design techniques to create a revolutionary resource of curated, relevant and useful information for men who are facing a testicular cancer journey in a language that they understand and presented in a way that makes sense to them.
We have committed USD $500,000 to the project and have released the first version of the website at http://truenth-tc.org, however work on the product is on-going and we plan to release new features throughout the coming months to include tools to help men reach out
and make contact with someone who has lived the journey before them, and to better learn more from experts about what to expect. We also continuously seek feedback from users to continually ensure that we are offering a remarkable experience for people who visit the site.
TrueNTH Testicular Cancer is currently available world-wide in English and there are plans to expand the language support of the product to include other countries.
TESTICULAR CANCER AWARENESS MONTHIn April we asked men to get to Know Thy Nuts, and if something doesn’t feel right, go to a doctor. It’s an important step in detecting testicular cancer early. This year’s campaign efforts reached millions and helped encourage young men to engage in their health.

MAKING CONNECTIONS FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING AMONG MEN OF ALL AGESA national initiative consisting of 11 projects across the U.S. working with men in community-level prevention projects building resilience and supporting mental health and wellbeing.
Last Movember, the Making Connections Community of Practice convened in Oakland, U.S which brought together men and women, of all ages, races and religions from 16 cities across the US, from Hawaii to Boston, Chicago to New Orleans, to learn, share and be challenged. These teams have been developing community-based programs aimed at improving social connections and enhancing mental wellbeing of disadvantaged and minority populations of men including men of colour and veterans. These populations of men are at the greatest risk of social isolation, substance misuse and suicide. The Movember Foundation is funding the work; Prevention
Institute is providing coordination, training, and technical assistance; and a team from the University of South Florida is evaluating progress and outcomes.
“The Making Connections Initiative is an opportunity that allowed underserved communities, like ours, to share their knowledge and concerns when it comes to mental health. For years, our communities were ignored because of a lack of knowledge and structural support. Today, grass root organizations like UWEAST and many others have taken a different approach that no other organizations have done in the past.
The need to address the health concerns of our young men from the East African community was an inevitable question that surrounded us all for a very long time. Working with these young men has already produced future leaders.”

MENTAL HEALTH AND SUICIDE PREVENTIONTRACKING OUR PROGRESS
WAY BACK SUPPORT SERVICE FUNDINGThe Australian Federal Government’s Budget recently committed AUD $37.6 million to expand The Way Back Support Service over the next 4 years. Initially funded by the Movember Foundation and implemented by our men’s health partner, beyondblue, The Way Back Support Service dates back to 2013. The service was initially established with $2.25 million from the Movember Foundation and $1 million from beyondblue. We saw a gap that needed to be filled, given that 200 Australians attempt to take their own life every day. The solution will give the Australian population the suicide prevention support they need, when they need it most.
Statistics show that up to a quarter of those discharged from hospital following a suicide attempt will try to take their own lives again in the next three months. Providing support at this point in time is vital and is an area which The Way Back Support Service heavily focuses on. Assigning professional workers to patients during hospital discharge, the program eases patients back into day-to-day life with regular check-ins, a suicide safety plan and ongoing support.
To date, 1,600 people have been through The Way Back Support Service – and suicide by people who have engaged with the service is less than one per cent. The newly-announced funding will help to support the 28,000 people around Australia on discharge from hospital after suicide attempts – expanding to 25 of the 31 Primary Health Network (PHN) regions in partnership with beyondblue, State and Territory Governments, PHNs and hospitals.
This a great, inspiring example of our important role as a ‘catalytic funder’ – a key aspect of our impact investment strategy. We invest in innovative programs that have the possibility to create real, long-term impact for men’s health, and find ways to catalyse implementation to be delivered in an area of need – scaling up what works to provide the greatest reach and benefits.
SUICIDE PREVENTION CAMPAIGN IN SEPTEMBERThis marked the third consecutive year we ran activity around World Suicide Prevention Day. 2016’s ‘Suicide notes talk too late’ was successful in engaging people with the message that men need to talk when times are tough. It attracted a lot of positive comments on social media, but importantly we identified a sizeable minority who said that they’d tried to talk but that it hadn’t gone well – people weren’t prepared or able to listen, and they’d ended up feeling worse.
We therefore aimed to evolve our 2017 activity, to highlight that whilst we might think we are there for the men in our lives, that might not always be clear to them. We wanted to build the capability and confidence of those who surround men, the “go to” people – developing skills on how to be a good listener, how to build trust in relationships, how to reach out to someone who might be going through a difficult time and to ask how they are.
In order to achieve this, we created three short films, supported by social content, to share across our own channels, and to push out to a wider audience of men and those who support them. These films were well received, and with a limited budget we achieved an impressive reach: the ‘UnMute – Ask Him’ video achieved 3 million fully trackable views, supplemented by considerable untrackable views. Based on this, we can estimate that over 6-8 million people watched the videos in total.

MENTAL HEALTH AND SUICIDE PREVENTIONTRACKING OUR PROGRESS
MOVEMBER FOUNDATION CIRCUMPOLARWe have funded a unique project that focuses on improving the mental health of Indigenous males in Northern communities of Canada through the use of land-based programming. This includes organizations from Nunavut, Northwest Territories, Yukon, Newfoundland and Labrador. The goal of this three-year project is to evaluate the effectiveness of the programs and to share those findings with the global community.
Within Canada, there is a North-South disparity in the impact of mental health issues, including suicide, suicidal behaviour, and addictions, on individuals and communities. Indigenous male youth are disproportionately affected, with suicide
rates from 3 to 11 times higher than their non-Indigenous peers. The disparity appears to arise from a context of broader social inequality, and its magnitude underscores the need for action.
Recent research has begun to focus on identifying protective and resiliency factors, such as the ability to cope with stress, social support, work satisfaction, self-esteem, and a mastery of skills, which are considered helpful to improving mental health. In a Northern Circumpolar context, factors such as cultural revitalization, connectedness to parents and role models, and learning and practising culture appear to contribute positively to mental health and wellbeing.
“ Within Canada, there is a North-South disparity in the impact of mental health issues.”

MAN UP DOCUMENTARYMan Up is a three-part documentary series and social awareness campaign funded by the Movember Foundation in Australia and hosted by Triple M radio personality Gus Worland. It aimed to get to the bottom of the male suicide crisis, effect real social change and hopefully even save lives.
Research findings on Man Up were recently published in the world renowned BMJ Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. The research findings were conducted by the University of Melbourne.
The publication of the paper lets the world know about the significant impact of these findings not just on men’s mental health and help-seeking, but also the fact that it demonstrates the impact that these mass health promotion activities can have to drive meaningful change.
Here are some insights from the publication:
“Our trial demonstrates the potential for men’s health outcomes to be positively impacted by novel, media based public health interventions that focus on traditional masculinity.”
“Men who viewed Man Up in our trial demonstrated significant changes in attitudes. After viewing the documentary, they indicated that they were more likely to seek help if they were facing difficulties and more likely to recommend that a friend do the same. They also demonstrated a shift in their conformity to traditional masculine norms.”

Whether watching a Mo Bro having their precious long beard shaved off in Movember, cheering on a Mo Sista running a half marathon for the first time for men’s health or working at our Mo HQs around the world… there’s not a moment where we don’t feel incredibly grateful for all the epic year-round fundraising achievements by Mo growers and supporters.
The Movember Community’s passion for our causes is at the heart of everything we do.
We have drawn on their powerful stories for inspiration. From how they have made positive changes in their own lives to helping impact the lives of those around them through raising awareness for men’s health – our community are living examples of the Movember Foundation’s message. They have been truly brave in sharing their stories with us and are the reason we are empowered to help change the face of men’s health.

OUR FINANCIALS
FUNDRAISING AND ADMINISTRATION COSTSThe work that the Movember Foundation carries out and the health benefits achieved for men cannot happen without the associated costs of fundraising and administration.
From each dollar raised, we spend 16.5 cents on fundraising. This is higher than the three-year rolling average of 14.2 cents, as during the 2017 year we invested in new fundraising strategies that will generate a return over a number of years. In short, we expect to raise more funds for Men’s Health in 2018 and beyond, due to these 2017 investments.
We strive to minimise administration costs, and have maintained these at 6.3 cents through global efficiencies and resource sharing. Our shared costs structure avoids duplicating functions such as finance, human resources, legal and technology across the world while making the necessary investments in technology and our people to keep pace with the global economy. We aim to spend every dollar wisely and achieve maximum value from every investment decision made.
FUNDS RETAINEDThe Movember Foundation has retained 4.9% of the funds raised from during the year to April 2018, to add to existing retained general funds. This is to cover future campaigns and ensure the long-term continuity of the organisation.
Our retained general funds are being progressively built over multiple campaigns and once the Board of Directors are satisfied the general funds are at a sufficient level (enough to cover 9 to 12 months’ operating costs), no further funds will be retained.
PROGRAMS INVESTMENTSIn the year to 30 April 2018, the Foundation has achieved net funds raised for investment in men’s health programs of 72.3 cents for every dollar raised. In dollar terms this was AUD $64 million raised for investment in programs that will benefit men world-wide.
The Movember Foundation continues to invest its net funds into programs that support prostate cancer, testicular cancer, cancer-survivorship, suicide prevention and mental health. These investments are made via our Men’s Health Partners and through our own direct global collaborative programs and our awareness and education program. Refer to earlier pages of this annual report for further details of our program investments and to the Report Cards section of the Movember Foundation website.
For every $1 raised, we spend 72.3 cents on men’s health programs.

OUR FINANCIALS
CASH HOLDINGSAt 30 April 2018, the Movember Foundation held the following in cash and cash related assets:
Cash and cash equivalents 82M
Term Deposits and Bonds 81M
Total 163M
The majority ($135m / 83%) of these cash assets are held for investment in men’s health programs and the balance of $28M / 17% is retained to fund ongoing operating costs. The cash assets will be used as follows:
Payments for programs being carried out by Men’s Health Partners
38M
Restricted reserves for current Movember Foundation managed programs
97M
Retained for working capital / operating costs 28M
Total 163M
The Movember Foundation invests only in world class programs that are aligned with our strategic goals, and only where it is demonstrated that we can have the greatest impact on men’s health.
We undertake a rigorous approach to program investment that involves a peer reviewed process, due diligence on selected implementation partners and the establishment of independent governance committees. All Men’s Health Partners and implementation partners for the Movember Foundation managed programs, are held accountable for driving outcomes that ensure current and future funding achieves significant results. These rigorous investment processes together with the linking of partner payments to milestone achievements, are key to ensuring that the Movember Foundation’s accumulated cash assets are both invested wisely and spent on a timely basis. The majority of the above listed amounts will be spent on programmatic work within the next three years.
After meeting the above noted program commitments, the balance of our cash holdings (AUD $28 million) will be retained in a general reserve to provide working capital and ensure that the Foundation has adequate funds for investment in future fundraising activities. As the majority of Movember Foundation’s revenue is currently derived from one annual campaign, the Movember Foundation Board has adopted a fiscally conservative approach to risk management and is working towards the accumulation of a general reserve equivalent to 9 to 12 months’ coverage of costs.
The Movember Foundation manages its cash holdings within a conservative treasury policy adopted by the Foundation’s global board. We select financial institutions with reference to external credit ratings. Cash Investments are held with financial institutions with at least an AA or A rating and exposure is minimised by spreading cash holdings across a number of institutions. Currently our cash and financial investments are held across a large number of institutions globally.
